Come and follow me, come and follow me deep into the forest, down the silver stream, to the green meadow where young foxes sleep.

I live in Finland and make music. www.catself.com
This Saturday evening I am playing at Käpygrilli in Helsinki, together with dark folk band Nobody and two bands from Jyväskylä: Akseli Hiltunen ja Kanssaloisaktivistit and 1Tipe.

We will each play 45-min sets.

Welcome!!!

YT changes the sound of the uploaded material and makes it sharper. I always underestimate it.

Here is a new, better sounding, less sharp Drain Fly live at Musta Kissa which should not hurt anybody, just like the drain fly wouldn't.

Enjoy it even more!

I went on Kallio Two-er and there is a video to prove that it really happened.

My song "Drain Fly" live at Musta Kissa, Kallio, Helsinki, filmed by Paul Stevens / Sammalvalo.

During my recent tour, I drove to Belgium on a very, very hot day and played my new song, "Snakes in Ireland", in The Rua Room studio.

The video is now available on The Rua Room YouTube channel.

Welcome to watch and I recommend subscribing to The Rua Room!!

I haven't been active here much because I have been too busy with work: recording and booking shows, for example getting this November/December tour organised. "Only" seven dates, right? You wouldn't believe how much work it took.

If you are near any of these places, welcome!!

Russian artillery shelled a children's hospital in Kherson this morning.

Four people were injured including hospital workers and a 9-year-old girl. She suffered blast injuries and shrapnel wounds to her shin.

Thinking you'll achieve peace by rewarding invasions is like thinking you'll cure alcoholism with vodka.

Right-wing America really is in a state of accelerated stupidity.
"We're not in high school, we don't need friends (...) when our interests align, we can do business, and when they don't, that's life (...) burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland. We're big boys"
Fox News Host Jesse Watters: Being friendly to the world is what got us in this mess. We don't need friends…If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland. We’re big boys. We dropped a-bomb on Japan and now they are our top ally

For what it's worth:

Christie: "Trump is a Russian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Russian. He used to be American. In the 1970s, they say. Anyway, he's not American anymore. He's a Russian."
Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian."
